Good to see Damon’s delivery still makes Victor Mature look like Sir John Gielgud. Wikipedia has the plot rundown.
The story is loosely based on the Philip K. Dick short story, “Adjustment Team” and will feature a smooth-talking congressman whose political future is thrown in doubt by uncontrollable events and the arrival in his life of a mysterious ballerina.
Matt Damon will play David Norris, a former Fordham University basketball player and charismatic United States Congressman who seems destined for national political stardom. He meets a beautiful ballet dancer named Elise Sellas, played by Blunt, only to find that strange circumstances keep them from becoming romatically involved. Norris discovers forces are at work to keep them apart, and he peels the layers to find out why. The action takes place in various places in Manhattan.
Hrm…
Looks like a cross between “Inception,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” and Damon’s own “Good Shepherd.”
Bets on sucker punches?
